Canine Sagacity.

Seine very interesting experiments
were recently made in England to de-
termine how it is that the dog is ena-
bled to follow the trail of bis master.
A gentleman used for series of tests a
pointer with which he had hunted for
several years. Every precaution was
taken to prevent the dogs being guild
ed by anything but the sense of smell.
The hunter, with his hunting boots
on, first walked about mile over the
grass, turning in various directions,
and then hid himself. The dog, not
having seen him, of course, was
brought to the starting place, when
he at once took the trail, and followed
it rapidly and accurately until he
found his master.
The hunter then headed process
sion of twelve persons walking Indian
file, each man being careful to place
his feet IN the footprints Of the man
preceding him. After walking two
hundred yards the hunter turned to
the right, followed by one half of the
men, and the other half turned to the
left. Each party made number of
turns and detours, and then concealed
themselves The dog, when put on
the trail, followed it promptly, and
at the point of separation, without a
moments hesitation, turned to the
right, as his master had done.
A stranger to the dog then put on
the masters hunting boots, and after
the same precautions the dog follow
ed his tracks as quickly as he follow
ed his masters. When the master wore
the boots of the stranger, the dog
would not follow, nor would he fol-
low the trail of the stranger when he
walked vita naked feet, but he
did follow his master under the
same conditions, though slowly, and
with much hesitation. The hunters
tried wearing new boots, but the dog
refused to follow. He then resumed
his hunting boots, after pasting paper
under The sole. aud along the sides; but
the dog paid no attention to the trail
until a point was reached where v,ry
small piece of the paper had fallen
from the boot; from that on the trail
was followed rapidly.
In the last experiment, the hunter,
with his hunting boots on free of pa
per, walked fifty yards, and then drew
off his boots and walked 800 yards
barefoot, but holding his boots in his
hands, which hung down. Then, rails
ing his arm and still holding the boots,
he walked 800 yards more. The dog,
when placed on the trail, followed the
whole distance without hesitation

IN DESPONDENCY.

Sometimes there comes within the life,
This checkered life of ours,
SO much OF loss and psin and strife,
That our sad eyes, with tear drops rife,
Look up and see no flowers.
A sudden sorrow clouds the days,
And the tired heart grows faint,
For strength nnd coHrage die awar,
And lips that have been firm to pray
Can only make COMPLAINT.
And life becomes al such time
An unsttracri,e thi G;
There is no sound Of CHEEKY time,
The day m-ves on in drrary rhyme,
And brings no heart to sing.
II such time should come TO thee
And somewhere in the years
For every one its paia will be
Do net desprir buiirt 10 see
Some sunshine through the tears
AMI know that he whom sorrows teach
Receives gift from heaVe#,
HIS tenderness some hearts may reach.
To whom the glad in vain sjsht preach,
And JOY through him is given.
Oh. then, be thou a comforter
To some more sad than thre;
And while thou thus do-t minister,
Strange bliss 10 thine o<n heart shall stir
Aud grief forgotten be.

! ETY., served IL IL t ti.9 i6est style.
The Regatta Committee were Col.
I G. p. Iaukea, Mr.. Chas. B. Wilson and
{ Mr.. ". NJ. Giffard, Secretary. Their
greatest praise is to be found in the
, remarkable success achieved under
: trying circumstances. Between them
they kept the whole territory under
constant supervision, exhibiting their
regulating tact in every quarter.
The Interpreter got long way
ahead of the Secretary of the Legis-
lature In the first-class yacht race.
Mr.. Wilcox won that contest In about
two hours and a half, whereas Mr..
Aagoon came sailing up to the line
three hours later. He was absent
long enough to justify making him
enter at the Custom-house for a
foreign voyage.
Tie judges were Mr. J. D. Spreck-
els, Of San Francisco yachting fame,
Lieut.. g. a. Miriam, L. S. n, and
Capt. J. A. King. Commodore of the
Wilder line Of Inter Island steamers.
They were as might be expected from
such an acquatic Judiciary, prompt
III their rulings and vigorous in e1-
pediting the various events. Their
decisions ON pending protests will
doubtless be strictly impartial.
Mr.. Frank Godfrey had command
of Mr. Herbert's steam launch, that
put in a busy and useful day
over the course. He was just in the
nick of time to save the Iolani crew,
then go to the rescue of the Honolulu
boys Frank showed the present
writer courtesy that is recorded with
appreciation in placing the launch at
his disposal for moving from point
to point.
After the start was made in the
canoe sailing race, one Of the compel
itors capsized and sank. 1t looked as
if the crew were only trying subma
rine navigation, SO coolly did they
take the mishap as their heads bob
bed about in the water while with
their hands they held on to the little
bark. A party of naval sailors pulled
the canoe into their boat. emptied the
water out and returned the canoe to
its nayigators right side up.
The Juniata catamaran elsewhere
described was cruising about the bark
Margaret Head in the stream, when
somehow or other the tiny vessel was
capsized and its crew of seven told
were laundering in the water. Three
kept up by holding on to the boat,
the rest by grasping the Heald's stern
hawser. Just as Lieut. Miriam gave
orders to an American boats crew to
go to their rescue, a boat from
the Conquest was seen darting out
toward them from behind some adj
jacent shipping, The jolly crew were
saved and their craft righted, when
they went cruising away Shortly
after they made sorry looking wreck
of the vessel, putting the masts and
yards all awry, and then friendly
line towed it home.
